Furious at the toy, Mr Burridge took it away from his daughter - but he claimed it was too late as she was "already copying the doll".

Emily cannot stop saying 'f*** it'

Mr Burridge, 39, an IT manager, said: "We opened the packaging on the doll and handed it to Emily.

"She was so excited to play with her new toy but as soon as she pressed its belly, we heard it say the swear word.

"Sarah and I were gobsmacked. When we played it again, it was clear that it was saying 'f***.'

"We've had to take it away from her but it is too late. Emily is only two but already copying the doll.

She keeps saying 'f*** it' - I don't know how to stop her

"She keeps saying 'f*** it' - I don't know how to stop her."

The doll is meant to make a sound similar to crying, but the parents swear they heard it utter expletives.

It is marketed as suitable for children between three and seven years old, and was bought with birthday money given to Emily from family members.

Mr Burridge and Ms Williams, who are separated, took Emily to the Toys 'R' Us store in Milton Keynes on June 2 so she could chose her own present.

Ms Williams, 22, said: "Emily has always loved changing nappies and as soon as we got into the shop, she made a beeline for the dolls.

"Seeing her face light up as she picked the My Little Baby Born Nappy Time doll made me so happy.

"The doll was meant to cry every time you pushed her belly button and I couldn't wait to see Emily play with her when we got home."

She added: "When we first heard the doll swear, we couldn't believe it. We had to play it again to make sure we were hearing right.

"We soon realised the doll was saying 'f***, f***, f*** it' instead of crying. Emily was so upset when we snatched it off her."

The youngster chose the doll herself as a birthday treat

Mr Burridge added: "Hearing our two year old daughter swearing every day is just awful. I think it's disgraceful that Toys 'R' Us have sold us such a dirty toy."

The product description on the Toys 'R' Us website says: "The My Little Baby Born Nappy Time is a baby girl doll with potty training function, realistic baby movements and sound effects.

"After drinking she will wet her nappy, move her legs and cry. Change her nappy and she will be happy again. Kids will love looking after their little doll."

Toys 'R' Us said they will "look into the matter" of the swearing doll.

A spokesman for Zapf Creation, which manufactures the toy, said: "Zapf Creation prides itself on making high quality products that children can play with and love and BABY born is one of our most popular brands, having been around over 24 years.

"With the aim of teaching young children about nappy changing, my little BABY born Nappy Time only makes "baby babble" sounds and does not say any actual words.

"We apologise if any customers feel that this babble resembles anything inappropriate."
